My name is Tom Barbereau and I am a Scientist Specialist at the research group on Digital Governance and Regulation. I bring passion for disruptive technologies' impact on organisations, modes of governance, and society at large.
Trained in the social sciences (MSc) and information systems management (PhD), I contribute expertise on the governance of digital technologies – with a focus on privacy-enhancing technologies - from an interdisciplinary perspective. My work primarily focuses on digital technologies, their design and fit with organisations' goals, as well as their broader impacts on society. At large, I work on questions of digital sovereignty and trust.
I contribute to academic discourse on governance, including in privacy technologies (n.b. federated learning, blockchain), digital identity, and cryptocurrencies. My work is published in leading academic journals in sociology, administrative science, and law amongst others.
